Gennett: Reds `want me here for the long term`
(MLB.com Cincinnati Reds)

Earlier this season, Scooter Gennett was poised to be one of the Reds` top trade chips this summer. The second baseman was prepared to be plugged in for rumors ahead of the July 31 non-waivers Trade Deadline. Gennett`s situation now appears to be less tenuous, especially as he`s contributed to the Reds becoming one of baseball`s hottest teams. It appears doubtful that he will be traded by Cincinnati. It`s also become possible that Gennett could receive a contract extension.
